One Hundred and Sixty-Seven Reinforcements
"Ugh..." The alarm sounded suddenly in the calm barracks, and all the barracks suddenly became noisy.
Every soldier began to pack his luggage nervously. The weapons stored outside the barracks were picked up one by one, and the helmets hanging on the weapons were also taken off one by one.
The gray military uniform is covered with a canvas tactical vest, and the infantry equipment of Ailan Hill has also undergone tremendous changes in the past year or so. The original armament belt has been simplified and replaced by a more rational tactical vest design.
The M42 steel helmet is still the classic standard configuration, but there is an additional layer of camouflage net like a fishing net on it. The soldiers walked out of the barracks one by one in silence, and formed a neat line in the open space outside the barracks door.
"Stand at attention! Take a rest! Stand at attention!" With the slogan next to each other, the platoon commanders and the company commanders walked past the troops under their command. Every soldier was nervous and in high spirits, and they looked at their officers with curiosity and longing in their eyes.
"The 9th Division is assembled! It can be launched at any time!" An officer walked up to a heroic female general, stood at attention and saluted and reported: "General please give instructions!"
Cape Luna is not very old, even very young, but she is still the most admired commander of the 9th Army. She performed very well in the work of forming the 9th Army, showing extraordinary organizational skills.
Now, the female general had her hands behind her back, raised her chin and looked at the soldiers who had already lined up in front of her. She nodded with satisfaction and gave her order: "Go!"
The troops deployed in the Veronsa area consist of 4 armies, each of which has its own strategic mission.
In fact, the troops that were originally going to support Greken were the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Armies, the famous 1st and 2nd Armies of Ireland Hill.
However, because the railway was not fully repaired, the 1st and 2nd armies were not suitable for reinforcements of Greken because of the highest degree of mechanization.
After all, what troubled the Alan Hill army was not the enemy in front of him, but the supplies behind him. Therefore, after weighing it, the 9th Army, which was originally in charge of the rear of the palace, became the most suitable army to join the battle first because of its moderate size.
This unit has its own armored units, but there are also light infantry that do not take much logistical supplies, and it is a unit that can barely be maintained with half a railroad. And this unit is from Higgs. Under the organization of Princess Luna, the training is the best, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong.
At several railway stations in the Veronsa area, tanks of the 9th Army are being loaded on standby. All the tanks were loaded onto flatbed trains, secured with wire ropes. Beautiful runes are drawn on the armor of most tanks.
The soldiers were crowded in the passenger compartment, and everyone looked curiously at the comrades waiting on the platform, waiting for the time for the train to depart.
"The 1st Air Force, which is responsible for covering us, has already left, and the airport near Greken has been repaired long ago... But the supporting facilities still have to be shipped, so..." Walking out of the military camp, Princess Cape Luna was beside her. General Alfred, the chief of staff of the 9th Army who followed, looked up at the sky and said, "The transportation is not over yet."
Above them, at least 50 C-47 transport planes flew in formation. These transport planes were responsible for transporting the ground crew of the First Army of the Air Force, as well as various necessary maintenance equipment.
Before, Grecon was planning to help the reinforcements of Alan Hill to store gasoline,
Therefore, the transportation pressure has been somewhat relieved, and at least the advancing troops have some confidence.
"We still have air support? Ha! It's good." Looking at the transport planes in the sky, a smile appeared on Cape Luna's face: "I thought we were going over there. Fighting alone."
"Impossible, and the paratroopers of the Air Force, about one division, were reinforced to us at the same time." General Alfred sat in the front row of the car, turned around and said to Luna: "The 1st Army One of the rocket artillery regiments from our company has also been transferred to us, but this time we go to Grecon, the light infantry is still the main force."
"Higgs are never afraid of sacrifice and bloodshed!" Cape Luna looked at the grenadiers lining up on the road passing by her car, and said proudly, "We are willing to fight for this world until the end. !"
Behind her car were trucks full of soldiers, towing a brand new 155mm howitzer.
The long army of soldiers can’t see the end at all. The mobilization of the 100,000-level army can stretch for several kilometers. This kind of thing does not happen often, so the local civilians in Velonsa are also looking at these curiously. Soldiers about to go west.
"Mom, mom! Are they going to fight the Holy Demon Empire?" a little girl asked while shaking her mother's arm.
Her mother looked worried, lowered her head to comfort her daughter and said, "Mom doesn't know either, I hope the war will never break out..."
And while they were talking, an M4 tank covered in runes rumbled past them, and a bunch of Alan Hill Grenadiers armed with STG-44 assault rifles overlooked the Velonsa of civilians.
Some of them had stern faces, while others showed white teeth and smiled at these commoners. Their tanks and cars swept up the sky, causing the crowd watching the crowd to take a few steps back involuntarily, covering their noses.
Over the heads of these tanks, a giant dragon whizzed past, and the Velonsa area also assembled its own troops this time. After the mobilization order of Elland Hill was issued, the Velonsa area will also dispatch a force to accompany the first The 9th Army fought.
This unit doesn't need much logistical supplies, or the more they move westward, the stronger they will become - this magic unit will be used as an auxiliary force to participate in the combat operations of the 9th Army, in order to experiment with magic units Feasibility of cooperation with the Mechanized Corps.
Just as the 9th Army began to gather westward along the railway line, far west, in Grecon, in a quiet cemetery.
A girl with big eyes knelt down in front of a mottled stone tablet, wiping her tears, she was weak and lovable.
"Father... You sacrificed your life 300 years ago in exchange for 300 years of Gricken's peace... Yesterday my teacher and my senior launched a magical forbidden spell together. They, like you, offered I gave my life..." The girl was in front of the tombstone, weeping and telling her sadness intermittently.
"You succeeded, but we failed... The eye of magic is still active, 10 magicians who are more powerful than me, just sacrificed in vain." Her tears fell on the dirt in front of her knees , one by one crystal clear.
"Tell me, what else can we do? What can we do?" The voice of the question drifted in the air, but no one answered.
"Vivian... If this is our destiny, then we have to accept it, don't we?" A white giant wolf squatted behind the girl and spoke with pity.
"Father, I'm going to fight, for Greken, for the weak people behind us. Please give me strength..." She got up from the ground, put her hand on the tombstone, and conveyed to her heart, only icy.
A magical lightning fell in the distance, and the magical aura of the cloud-covered Greken area was already very chaotic. Countless terrifying demonic creatures are scattered in the eyes of magic, and the once beautiful Greken has changed a lot.
He put the mask that Chris had seen on his face, and his small figure swayed in the wind. For the first time, Vivian became reticent, as if she had really grown up overnight.
"Mr. Wolf, reorganize our army on the ground! Protect the magic capital Grissom! Our reinforcements are already on their way. As long as we persevere, we can fight back against the Magic Eye after they arrive."
"Are you so optimistic about those mortals?" The giant wolf got up from the ground, and its tall figure was comparable to that of an elephant. When he spoke, the sharp teeth in his mouth flashed with a cold light, and at first glance, he was a very difficult guy.
"There is no news from the puppet empire, and the reinforcements of elves and dragons do not know when they will arrive... Maybe they will never come... So, we can only count on those mortal armies." Wei Wei An answered while walking forward.
The magic robe on her body was shaking in the wind, and the light of the magic inscription was peaceful in the gale: "And, if you've seen those mortal weapons with your own eyes, you'll know what I mean. They don't rely on magic. fighting, which makes them more suitable for a war of attrition."
"When you say that, I have a bottom line in my heart. If they can help us defend the flank, we will have a chance to attack the Magic Eye." The giant wolf followed behind Vivian step by step, all white hair fluffy. fluttering in the wind.
"I have great confidence in them... Let's go and meet the great magisters. We must now protect those civilians from the fighting area, and also protect those important oil depots and airports... There is a lot of work."
"Those mortals... are really troublesome... They are fighting, why do they need so many things?" The giant wolf complained angrily when he heard Vivian's words.
"Don't complain! When they come, you will find that they are a group of very interesting little guys." Thinking of the interesting Emperor, a faint smile appeared on the face behind Vivian's mask.
